Upcycled birthdaycard and gift wrapping.

Last night a good friend celebrated his 40th birthday and because the present was practical I desided to put more of an effort into the card. The front is made of a piece of an old album cover with glued on scrapbooking letters and a puzzle piece. Inside there are 4 pages with pictures and facts about the year and date he was born.

A half hour before I was supposed to leave for the party I remembered that I had forgotten to wrap the present. I didn’t have time for some creative brainstorming so I decided to go with a rugged look. But a plain cardboard box was a little boring, so with the help of a magazine and some double sided tape I decorated it with a nice bow.

If I had more time I would probably put more effort into selecting the pages, color and general finish, but all in all I think it turned out ok.

Who am I:

I live with my daughter and a peculiar cat in an old house in the middle of a big-small town on the south/west coast of Norway. The house would most defiantly benefit from a total renovation, but it got lots of charm and we love it. My daughter is 12 and she makes her mother proud every day, the cat is about 8 and as big a diva as a cat can be and I’m the one that tries to be on top of everything.
